Zodiac Signs and Dates: all 12 astrology signs, with counts
Read your full birth chart — free →
There are twelve zodiac signs, and which one is yours is settled by your birth date alone — no birth time, no birthplace, nothing else. Below are all twelve with their dates, the planet that rules each one in the classical tradition, its element, and one number you will not find on most sign pages: how many of the 281 K-pop idols we measured fall into it.
All twelve signs and their dates

Dates are the usual boundaries. ⚠ The Sun does not cross into a sign at the same hour every year, so if you were born within a day of a boundary the usual table can put you on the wrong side. We say so rather than pick one for you — the full chart settles it from your exact time and place.
What the counts do and do not show
If birthdays fell evenly across the year you would expect about 23 of 281 in each sign. The real counts run from 17 to 28.
That spread is what ordinary variation looks like. Splitting 281 birthdays twelve ways will not give you twelve equal piles, and the gaps here are not large enough to mean anything. We publish the counts because they are real, not because they prove something.
What a sign tells you, and what it does not
Your zodiac sign is where the Sun stood on the day you were born. It is one placement. The Moon, the sign rising over the eastern horizon at that moment, and the twelve houses all depend on the exact time and place — and some of them change within two hours.

What we do not do
We do not describe a sign's personality. The numbers above count birthdays, not character, and nothing here supports a sentence of that shape.
